the reason i used glabels was because when the system boots or the
controller rescans, it assigns da0 to the first drive it finds alive on
the controller, da1 to the second, etc.
this means that drive addition or removal changes the daX numbering.
so the labels are so that zfs can find its ass when assembling the
array.
the kernel opt
options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering
is for ata, not sata, yes?
is there a nice way out of this?
